He makes me sick - literally

The phrase "what's mine is yours" is ringing in my head right now. I made the decision to spend the weekend with my very sick boyfriend and now I can feel the consequences from that decision creeping in... slowly...I can feel my head getting heavyI can feel my nose getting stuffyI can feel my through getting dry, and redI can see the whites of my eyes getting a little greyand I can count my coughs becoming more frequent.

I hate that feeling of knowing you're going to get sick, but you just aren't yet. Especially already knowing what the progression of the sickness will be. Ugh.

What do you do when you’re sick? Watch movies? Read books? Sleep?What's your best remedy for a sore throat?

When I get sick, I usually get some fresh pressed juice with orange, carrot, and ginger

I also have chicken soup and a ton of it....

As soon as I feel something coming on, I book an appointment with my naturopath (who gives me a vitamin C treatment). I find these treatments VERY effective! I usually feel better in a couple of hours :)

I also take zinc lozenges, and oil of oregano on a pretty regular basis.

I'm with Meredith on the Vitamin C. If I feel a sickness coming on, I eat lots of fruit - especially oranges. I also drink camomile tea and SLEEP LOTS. And probably catch up on daytime TV shows - a full day of the Slice Network usually cures me! hehe

Alex's family swears by eucalyptus in hot water in a bowl, then you put your head over the bowl and a towel over your head and let the steam clear your sinuses. It does work but there is also the unfortunate side effect of snot running down your face if you're at the congested stage.

@ali - I'm going to try that when I get back home tonight@patricia - unfortunately we are in different cities, but he did a brilliant job of taking care of me when I was bed ridden in the summer. I'm going to look for the Cold Fx
